Poem
In the quiet depths where shadows swell, I dive into the ocean of grief, Where the waves whisper secrets, And the tides pull at my heart, A current of sorrow, heavy and relentless, Yet, here I am, swimming through the depths. The water is cold, a stark embrace, Each stroke a reminder of what once was, Faces float by like distant memories, Their laughter echoing in the ripples, I chase them down, but they slip away, Like grains of sand through my weary fingers. I wade through the pools of despair, Each drop a tear, each wave a pain, The surface glistens with a deceptive charm, But beneath lies a tempest, wild and untamed, I fight against the undertow, Yet it pulls me under, deeper still. I remember the sunlit days, When joy was a buoy, holding me high, Now, the skies are cloaked in gray, And I search for light in the murky depths, But every flicker flickers out, Leaving me gasping, longing for air. The water is a paradox, It carries my sorrow but also my strength, Each ripple a testament to my survival, Each breath a defiance against the abyss, I learn to navigate the currents of loss, To find solace in the struggle, in the fight. I encounter the shadows of my sorrow, They dance around me like specters, Whispering tales of what was lost, Yet in their haunting, I find a rhythm, A strange beauty in the ache, A melody woven from the threads of grief. I swim through the depths of memory, Where laughter mingles with tears, Every stroke a tribute to love, Every gasp a reminder of life, I am a swimmer in an ocean of grief, But I am also a vessel of hope. I rise to the surface, breaking free, The light spills over, golden and warm, And though the scars remain etched deep, They tell a story of resilience and grace, For in the act of swimming through sorrow, I find the strength to float once more. So, I embrace the waves, I embrace the pain, For grief is a journey, not a destination, With every stroke, I learn to carry on, To honor what I've lost while living anew, In this vast sea of emotion, I find my place, Swimming in grief, yet learning to breathe. As I reach the shore, the horizon beckons, A promise of dawn, a whisper of peace, I learned to swim in the depths of despair, And though grief will linger like a shadow, I rise, I breathe, I embrace the day, For in the water's embrace, I've found my way.
